Ideas for Mini-Events

Double Kurzick/Luxon faction in ABs, with the extra incentive of returning them to their previous preview glory. >.> Ggkthx, I'd play.

I think this would be fun... Make HA groups random for a weekend, so anyone could have a chance of winning/holding Hall of Heroes. I think this would be interesting since there would be no Vimway/Iway, BSpike, etc, etc.

Or setting up an arena (RA, TA, or HA) so that you get the skills from either the snowball fight arena (from winter event) or dodgeball arena (from dragon event).

6 man gvg! Only during a fun season or when the ladder is locked.
Double faction in gvg.
Double fame in HA! (oh wait)
Random team Alliance Battles
Random team HA

Double rare material drops
Double green drops

*FREE BEER!* (would not be able to be sold to merchant)

Some PvP ideas I had. Of course, they should be either during a ladder lock or HA-only events.

2 elites weekend: Everyone can have 2 elite skills on their bar instead of 1. Chaos ensues.

6 skills weekend: Inspired by the 6-man PvP weekend, only 6 skills may be used in PvP. Might stop some gimmicks or form new ones

Hyperspeed: Everyone has a permanent, unstrippable Chimera of Intensity.

Those are the same thing. Also, no.

Barring some kind of event where using the skill "I Will Avenge You!" causes your client to close and uninstall, your hard drive's platters to warp and crash, your memory to corrupt, your CPU to explode, your monitor to catch fire, every ISP in the country to blacklist you as an ineligible customer and your soul to rupture inside your very body condemning you to an afterlife of hellfire with a best-case scenario of an eternity in purgatory...

...

...

that Oktoberfest idea sounds pretty good.

Oooh, another idea, you know the optional missions where you need to get as many points as possible, that nobody plays? Make them give rewards of some kind or anything, because they seem kinda empty.

Maybe better drops or something, or change something in them like 12 man party and harder mobs.

MINI FIGHT WEEKEND!

For a weekend, anyone in the battle isle will be transform to be a Mini! (1/6 size) That include the fights!

(yes, they did that in beta befoe, so they have the technology...)

Open up FoW and UW to all saying the gods need us to kill some special boss monsters in the area.

Create a FoW "hall pass" or "Favor of the Gods Token" drop that would allow groups to go at any time as long as one of the members surrendered their "hall pass". These would be consumeable and stackable, they could also be sold and traded for one time use only. Maybe the boss could drop several for each player when they die.

You could only use it in ToA when your servers don't have favor. This would let some players who have trouble getting into groups get people to accept them in their group for a trip into FoW. Also, some of the people on servers that don't win favor much or in International could finally go together.

Make them fairly easy to get items or something that could be traded with a collector for Dark Remains or something like that.

I can see it now, "A/Rt with Token looking for FoW group"

Make the mini's do a special skill attack too

On a side note, allowing more than one out at a time would be nice (although preferably on a more permanent basis.)(I haven't given up hope of putting out more mini turtles in the gayala hatchery mission then stupid whats his face ... I can out "Turtle Clan, MOVE OUT!" him any day )

VERY SIGNED!

/bugreport: I can no longer get into 6v6 in Heroes Ascent. I used to be able to do this, and I haven't changed anything! I swear! Monday I could enter 6v6, Tuesday I couldn't. Somethings wrong. Plz Help.



/serious
DOUBLE RARE MATERIALS DROP (except ecto and shards)
FREE FOW/UW/DEEP/URZOG ENTRY
GREEN/SPECIAL ITEMS THAT ONLY DROP FOR ONE WEEKEND! (duplicates of other greens with new skins)

FIND GWEN WEEKEND! (GWEN QUESTS FIXED! Although they might be devilishly cryptic and difficult and only available for the weekend)

Could you just imagine 8 people in a group with 5 mini pets each running around. Worse if they did this and allow pets in town there could hundreds of pets running around.

Now in order to make the double ecto and shard drops thing plausable you would have to eleminate the ss/55 and rit builds... Something that strips enchantments or something like the chained soul guys in tombs.
As much as I would love to just tell my monks - HEY LETS GO FARM WITH MY SS! it just seems a bit unfair.


How about a no holds weekend... people can still HA and win but it doesn't have any effect on if you can get into UW or FoW? I know it bugs a lot of people that when they are on they never have favor... This would be a good chance for them to go have fun in UW and FoW without having to sit around waiting for someone to win it. (although I'm not sure if double ecto and shards should go with that or not lol)
Edit: aww someone beat me to this idea, though the hall pass thing seems confusing.

Also the best quests were when we had to do the Christmas quests... they were fun! I loved chasing the nakie warrior that was so amusing lol. A weekend of silly quests with great rewards like double skill points would be nice.


and this: WONDERFUL ACTIONJACK! I would love this so much! <3 Who doesn't want to battle chibbi style!

Double your unlucky/lucky title points.
Gain points by fighting mini-pets in a mini arena.
Totally random.

I'd say recycle the double faction/fame weekends.

I'll echo the access to FoW/UW without the favor of the gods, simply because it would be great.

And maybe a weekend where in PvE you get to use monster skills in addition to your own skills. Except Spectral Agony... okay, maybe Spectral Agony...

fow and uw free exploration weekend.

-access to fow and uw free for anyone (janaese/taiwanese players would love this)
-a special npc u find once u are in fow/uw can unlock the quest u want to do (ex u wanna do horsemen in uw without cleaning all the way there, or the tower of strenght in fow... u're free to start there)
-couple of green items that drop IN THE WEEKEND ONLY in fow and uw. ex menzies staff, sword/axe/shield in the tower of streght and in quest reward chests in uw

Opening of the auction house weekend <nudge nudge wink wink> Ok, I know that's a lasting game improvement, not a weekend only event, but it is something I'd be more happy to see than any random weekend bonus events.

As for mini-events, I'd like to see monster henchmen weekend. The candy corn golems and snowmen of previous holiday events were fun.

Also, Oktoberfest sounds like a great idea.

oh.. and just to be more clear... its where your characte will turn small (like Honey I Shrink the Kids), and not have mini pet fights.

It would also add some change to the strategy, as the landscape is larger now.

As a mini-event... I guess it need to be something where dev can do with relative ease (with just change of few numbers in the code). So it should do...


oh.. another idea...

Boss Hunter Weekend
For the weekend, the boss will give out double exp,, double moral points, and more chance of droping gold/rares.

pvp:

-bring mini-pets into pvp areas, in fights and stuffs
-double skill bar, 16 skills, 2 elites allowed - 4 people only in 1 group
-disable flag running + archers weekend in GvG battles - turtle ftw!
-gvg battles where turtlers get damage every 3 seconds theyre in the lord room
-15 minute gvgs, 15 minute play then VoD comes at 15 mins, and the guild lord comes out to play too!

loads more i could suggest, i like the resizing idea for PvP too

A UW/FoW Special Weekend.

Double Ecto/Shard drops
No fee to access UW/Fow
Favor not required to enter UW/FoW

I like the Octoberfest idea myself - having enemies dropping ale/rice wine/ whatever would be pretty cool. After all, those outcasts, crimson skulls, and Am Fah guys are probably doing something to entertain themselves when they're not harrassing people.
